$107K Pick 5 Carryover at Hollywood Park, Thursday, May 12

There is a $107,474 carryover in the 50¢ pick 5 at Hollywood Park on Thursday, May 12, 2011.Let’s make a play even though I rarely bet the California tracks. The lure of the extra $107K, of which none is mine, is enough for me to give it a try.

You see my picks divided into three levels. The first is a basic play with only the top choices in each race.Second option is more expensive and extensive and includes the first ticket and then the top choices with one backup. Finally, you can try a play that includes the first two options and the top choices with two backups. Good luck!

Of course, Steven Crist is the creator of this method of playing the multi-race wagers.You should read more about it in his book, Exotic Betting.
